The Power of Personal Choice in Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease
Kalpana (Rose) M. Kumar, M.D.
| |
Heart disease is the nation's number one killer, causing more deaths than all cancers combined. Women account for
51% of all cardiac deaths per year in the U.S. It is the leading cause of death in women age 20 and greater. The fastest growing users of prescription drugs for heart disease are men and women, ages 29 to 44. Among women, there is no improvement in mortality. In fact, the mortality rate has been rising over the past ten years. Typically men are taken more seriously when they present with chest pain to a physician or emergency room, increasing their chances of survival from a heart attack.
The primary risk factors for heart disease are:
- hypertension
- diabetes
- obesity
- cigarette smoking
- elevated cholesterol
- inactivity
- depression
- heredity
- age over 50

The Effectiveness of Simple Breathing Techniques
Genevie L. Kocourek, M.D.
| |
How often do you find yourself in a stressful situation and suddenly feel that you cannot get a deep breath? Your breathing becomes shallow as you brace for the situation at hand. But, the longer you continue to breathe shallowly, the more anxious you will become-it's simply physiology and physics at work.
Recently, I had the opportunity to undergo a routine screening procedure and was reminded how effective breathing techniques can be for calming ourselves. While I waited in the staging room in my hospital gown, I found myself becoming anxious. A nurse came in to check my blood pressure. It was considerably higher than it has ever been before (157/102). I was shocked at how high it was just from the stress of waiting. I told the nurse, "My blood pressure is never that high! Please come back in a few minutes and check it again." During her absence, I employed Option 1 below for 12 cycles. When she came to recheck my blood pressure, I was much calmer and my reading was 110/72, an amazing response to my breathe work.
